Why I won't be at World Cup final – Argentina's President

Argentine President Javier Milei said Thursday he will not attend the World Cup 2026 final in the United States, preferring to continue watching his country take on Spain from home to maintain his good luck ritual. Milei told El Observador radio that he watches matches from the presidential residency and has worn a thick jacket from oil company YPF since the quarter-final against Switzerland, after noticing that taking it off coincided with conceding a goal. Argentina will face Spain on Sunday in New Jersey, where Spain's King Felipe VI and US President Donald Trump are set to attend.
